The Right to Make: A Creative Access Project will work with intellectually disabled adults across Cork City. Through Horizons’ Suisha Inclusive Arts, it will offer a series of creative workshops led by artists in different types of art. These workshops will take place at Horizons buildings and spaces and in other community spaces in Cork.

There will be sessions where the artists, other creative people, and Horizons’ staff meet and share ideas. This will help everyone understand each other better and build stronger creative skills. Everyone involved – participants, facilitators, and artists – will work together to make creative projects and activities that support wellbeing. These will lead to an art installation that is easy for everyone to enjoy, and there will be chances to show the results to the public.

The project is built on the belief that everyone has the right to be creative and to take part in cultural life. Participants, artists and support staff will learn from each other, build relationships and create new opportunities for creative expression, confidence and connection. 

The work created during the project will be shared with the wider community through exhibitions, events and a public artwork that is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all. By celebrating creativity and participation, The Right to Make aims to help make Cork's cultural life more inclusive for everyone.
